I recently picked up a 25-06 with the intention of using this rifle for coyote, antelope and deer hunting. I will be using the 100gr TTSX, I know the TTSX is an excellent performer on antelope and deer but I have no first hand knowledge of how it will perform on coyotes. Has anyone used the TTSX on coyotes and if so how was the terminal performance?
TTSX and Coyotes
- Thread starter Cinch
- Start date
Used 130 grain TSX (out of a .270 Win) on three 'yotes during a deer hunt back in '07...
Worked just fine in terms of lethality, but it did blow big holes in the hides on exiting.

I used 120 gr. TSX out of my 260 R. on a coyote this year and was very effective but not good for the hide...
As others have already pointed out, don't use these "penetrator" bullets on yotes if you have plans to save the hides for sale. Large exit hole is guaranteed with these bullets. Get a real varmint bullet like the Hornady VMAX. I shot a wolf with my .270 with a handload 110gr VMAX bullet chrono'd @ 3100fps from 50 yards. NO EXIT WOUND!!! I am sold on this bullet for varmints.

I wouldnt' waste any Barnes bullet on a dog. As mentionned above...a bullet that cost a third of a ttsx will do a great job for this. If only want to load one bullet for anything than I guess the ttsx will do....hides are not worth much anyways.
